Why does Surah al-Baqarah follow al-Fatihah? Why does the ordering of chapters not follow the chronological sequence of revelation? This is one of the deepest and least explored questions in the Qur'anic sciences — and al-Hafiz Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti dedicated a full work to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSecrets Within the Order of the Qur'an (Tartib al-Qur'an)\u003c\/strong\u003e by al-Suyuti examines the rationale behind the arrangement of the Qur'an's surahs — identifying the thematic connections, structural patterns, and divine wisdom that unite chapters that might appear unrelated to the casual reader.
